But its full form wasn’t realized until the song “Believe in the Moonlight” was written and recorded at Sabbath Recording in Cincinnati with Jacob Merritt and Matt Latchaw, who co-produced and performed drums\/percussion, and engineered the LP respectively. While writing the lyrics in the control room, “I’m no righteous man in holy robes … thinking of the child star,” the shape of the album finally became clear to Joey.

He was drawn to music from an early age but was overjoyed when he first heard Pink Floyd’s \u003ci\u003eThe Wall\u003c\/i\u003e. The grandiose arch of the concept album format spoke to him. The discovery of David Bowie’s \u003ci\u003eZiggy Stardust\u003c\/i\u003e was another formative moment - the realization that it was okay to write as a character and reinforcing the concept album theme.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBowie continued to be a steady inspiration; when Joey first heard his 1974 album, \u003ci\u003eDiamond Dogs\u003c\/i\u003e, it was so bizarre he wasn’t sure if he liked it or not (which is usually a good sign).

One, sludgy post-punk from Southern California; the other, studio-driven shoegaze out of Nashville. But after re-naming the band, re-titling the album and changing the artwork, one could be forgiven if you've never even heard Fluffy's weird and dreamy split-brain finale. But then again, little about Fluffy's story was conventional.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1991, Mike Knott wanted to release ten albums in a single month for his Blonde Vinyl label, but he was one band short. Engineer Chris Colbert, already recording several of the other releases, saw an opportunity to have some fun and offered to be the tenth band. He assembled a few friends and Fluffy was born.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWithin a week, Fluffy had written and recorded \u003cem\u003eFluffy Luvs You\u003c\/em\u003e, a straightforward punk rock album paying homage to the band’s bassist Jeff Beans. Beans was a founding member of The Detours, which later morphed into the legendary punk act The Adolescents. Fluffy played a few shows, most notably opening for The Crucified at an Orange County church while tripping on shrooms. A year later, Blonde Vinyl asked for a follow-up and the band regrouped, quickly writing and recording a Melvins-tinged post-punk album titled \u003cem\u003eGo, Fluffy, Go!\u003c\/em\u003e A few shows later and the band’s members moved onto other things.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1995, Chris Colbert moved from Southern California to Nashville. He paid the bills by engineering numerous albums at Neverland Studios, including notable releases from The Choir and Morella’s Forest. In Nashville, Colbert met Alex Parker through mutual friend Daren “Klank” Diolosa. Parker needed a roommate and Colbert needed a room. Parker, a former employee of R.E.X. Music, had recently started indie label Flying Tart. He had been a fan of Fluffy and offered Colbert $5000 in exchange for a new Fluffy record. Never one to turn down a paycheck, Colbert agreed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith the rest of Fluffy back in California, the process of making \u003cem\u003eSugar Pistol\u003c\/em\u003e would have to be very different. The album essentially took shape as two different bands performing as Fluffy, Colbert being the only person to perform on all of the tracks. The noisier post-punk numbers (e.g. “Shrimpy Brine” and “Dead Horse Grin”) were written and recorded by the original band at The Green Room in Huntington Beach. The remaining tracks were recorded in Nashville during improv studio sessions with Steve Hindalong (The Choir) and feature contributions from Jason Martin (Starflyer 59), Ronnie Martin (Joy Electric) and Riki Michele (Adam Again). The Nashville tracks sounded markedly different, flirting with elements of dream pop and space rock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis hodgepodge somehow worked, resulting in what was by far the most diverse-sounding and experimental Fluffy album. Flying Tart released \u003cem\u003eSugar Pistol\u003c\/em\u003e in late 1995, but had trouble getting record stores to carry the CD, many of whom balked at the innuendo-laden album title and imagery. Around the same time, UK rock band Fluffy were preparing to make their major label debut and offered Colbert a cash payment if he agreed to stop using the name Fluffy. Still not one to turn down a paycheck, Colbert happily agreed and the album was pulled.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eColbert decided to rename the band Duraluxe, a reference to the shoddy acrylic paint from Kurt Vonnegut’s novel \u003cem\u003eBluebeard\u003c\/em\u003e. The album, now called \u003cem\u003eRock Music W\/ Singing\u003c\/em\u003e, was eventually re-released by Flying Tart in 1997. With all the confusion surrounding the re-release and name change, the album only managed modest sales. Colbert added to the chaos by starting a brand-new, completely unrelated band in Nashville also named Duraluxe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fact that \u003cem\u003eSugar Pistol\u003c\/em\u003e reached such a small audience is really a shame; the songs are among the strongest in the Fluffy catalog. The California iteration was Fluffy at its post-punk peak — songs like “Shrimpy Brine,'' with its layers of screeching guitars over a hypnotic Jeff Beans bass line, were a refinement of style. In Nashville, meanwhile, the musicians experimented wildly in the studio.

Their four-song \u003cem\u003eEP\u003c\/em\u003e, originally self-released as a CD on a limited basis, showcases a wide diversity of styles performed by musicians at the top of their creative game. Lost in Ohio is excited to announce the first wide-release of the EP on etched black vinyl and all digital platforms, including a previously-unreleased fifth track on the digital release!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe late ‘90s were a fertile time for the Nashville music scene, attracting musicians from all over the globe. It was during this time that Sam Ashworth and Matt Slocum first met, with Sam contributing a song to Sixpence None the Richer’s self-titled 1998 album. They became fast friends and began meeting at Matt’s house regularly to jam and write music.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen Lindsay Jamieson moved to Nashville from London a few years later, he was introduced to his future bandmates at a party. A huge fan of The Sundays, Matt was fascinated to learn that Lindsay had played percussion on their albums. Not long after, Sam and Lindsay discussed the idea of starting a band. Sam recalls, “Lindsay came over to hang out and talk music. I had filled up a little kiddie pool on the side of my house and we sat in the kiddie pool in our trunks, drank beer and started conceptualizing a band.” During the conversation, it became clear that Matt would be an essential part of this band, so they approached him, and he was interested.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe band started playing shows at local Nashville venues, including Slow Bar, The Basement, Exit-In and Uptown Mix. They attracted many fellow musicians to these early shows, including Ben Folds, Fleming \u0026amp; John, and future member John Davis. According to Sam, Ben Folds was impressed: “Ben came to one of our first shows … and soon after hired Lindsay and Jared Reynolds [who played bass with the band at this show] to record with him.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile continuing to perform, the band started recording during sessions at Matt’s house, the main floor of which was a sprawling studio. Prominent local engineers and producers Taylor Harris (Charlie Peacock) and Jacquire King (Kings of Leon) assisted with these sessions. At the same time, Lindsay was making frequent visits to RCA Studio A to track drums for Ben Folds’s album \u003cem\u003eSongs for Silverman\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt was also around this time that John Davis first jammed with the band. The band members were fans of Superdrag and excited at the opportunity. John remembers, “It was more, ‘Come by the studio and just jam on something.’ If I had showed up and played something terrible, they probably wouldn’t have invited me to come up on stage with them. But as it turns out, we got some really cool stuff.” John was soon an official member.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs the band continued playing shows in Nashville, buzz spread around the industry, and the band drew interest from V2 Records. “I remember being in the studio and hearing somebody from V2 was interested,” Lindsay muses, “and it being a little drop of poison in the brain. You’re trying to just make music without an agenda, and suddenly in the back of your brain . . . you go ‘I wonder if Mr. V2 would like it this way or that way.’”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the end, though, it wasn’t meant to be. Ben Folds’s \u003cem\u003eSongs for Silverman\u003c\/em\u003e was released to critical acclaim and Lindsay departed for a tour across the US and Europe. “It was just a gig that [Lindsay] needed to do,” as Sam remembers. “It made sense, we all understood, but it quickly became evident that continuing wasn’t going to be feasible at this point in time.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe band, who had been slowly tracking songs at Matt’s house, wanted to put a release together to mark their time as a band. Sam explains, “We had completed about five or six songs and it was like, ‘OK, what can we release with what we have,’ and we narrowed it down to four.” The EP was self-released and sold through direct mail order and at their few remaining shows, including their final show opening for Silversun Pickups at Exit\/In.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe EP displayed a staggeringly diverse sound for its short runtime. As John recently remarked, “I listened to the jams when we first started talking about [the reissue], for the first time in a long time and they were still just brand new.” Sam agrees: “Listening back to these songs recently, I really am just amazed at how it still sounds fresh. I can’t say that about a whole lot of music that I’ve made in the last twenty years. It just feels like this could come out right now as a brand-new thing and feel so appropriate for the times.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/embed.tidal.com\/albums\/334558259\" width=\"500\" height=\"275\" allow=\"encrypted-media; fullscreen; clipboard-write https:\/\/embed.tidal.com; web-share\" sandbox=\"allow-same-origin allow-scripts allow-forms allow-popups allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\" style=\"color-scheme: light dark\" title=\"TIDAL Embed Player\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e","brand":"Lost in Ohio","offers":[{"title":"Etched Vinyl","offer_id":46229906260216,"sku":"LOH-11-VINYL","price":14.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Digital Download","offer_id":46229906227448,"sku":"LOH-11-DIGITAL","price":5.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Test Pressing","offer_id":46238585159928,"sku":"LOH-11-TEST","price":49.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0744\/4476\/7480\/files\/loh11.png?v=1744906116"},{"product_id":"lightning-love-blonde-album","title":"Lightning Love – Blonde Album","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLost in Ohio is reissuing the 2012 indie pop classic, on limited edition pink \u0026amp; blue splatter vinyl.

The build-up, in my head, in the late summer of 2012, this follow-up to what had already been a head-spinning debut, coming from this charismatically scrappy, poetically plainspoken power trio with uncanny pop sensibilities, coming out of Ypsilanti with made-to-order minimalist indie-ballads that rarely exceeded 150 seconds and only needed a piano, a guitar, a drum kit and the most beguiling melodies ever to grace the seedy innards of a dive bar. And I already knew at least four of the songs that would be on its tracklist by heart from being front row for several live renditions of what were then “new songs…”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd now, here I am, a decade later, remembering that I already knew then, but perhaps had stored away in the basement of my brain inside a filing cabinet labeled \u003cem\u003eexuberant exclamations from your more idealistic youth…\u003c\/em\u003e …that this album is perfect, front to back.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePerfect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA perfect 27 minutes of pop with evergreen lyrics addressing the all-too-relatable regrets of shortsighted recklessness in love and in life, combined with the profound endearment of hearing a vocalist whose intonation already makes her sound so effortlessly earnest in her vulnerability finding pristinely eloquent couplets to express that specific state of desperation that rides along the very thin line between a revelatory breakthrough or a total breakdown. But you never get weighed down by all the utterly poignant heartache because the propulsive drums, with dynamics down to a tee, switch superbly between soft brushes to eruptive stampedes, all while perfectly complimenting the pound of the piano; our accompanying guitar, meanwhile, bends its way into melodic phrases that are so bewitchingly catchy that you don’t know whether to grin or cry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd before you know it, the song, any song, is over. So brief. So perfect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd I don’t care whether anyone today, anyone who, ya know, wasn’t there…concludes that these are just the hyperbolic ramblings of an elder millennial nostalgic for a simpler time, or whether I come off sounding like some kool-aid drunkard recounting the fleeting vision of a comet in the sky; heck, I probably sound like that super-fan of \u003cem\u003eArrested Development\u003c\/em\u003e or \u003cem\u003eFirefly\u003c\/em\u003e that you regret getting into a conversation with at the party because they just carry on about a pure perfection that left us wanting more. That was gone too soon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut shit, maybe you can’t top this? And my blurting out that question isn’t referring to the reality that the band never released anything after \u003cem\u003eBlonde Album\u003c\/em\u003e and far be it from me to ever suggest that if they ever stepped up to the plate that they wouldn’t knock it out of the fucking park yet again…, I’m just saying that, as a listener, as a human being on the planet earth who listens to music, who is constantly listening to music, that I, myself, or possibly many others, couldn’t or shouldn’t downplay that statement, just as a singular revelation however subjective it might be… The revelation that a perfect album came into your life and substantially sweetened the “soundtrack” of that life, of your life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFront to back. Perfect. Relentless. Brief. Fleeting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn exhilarating and heart-wrenching half-hour full of confessions of warts-and-all honesty, recounting a very ID impulsiveness, yet often set to aerobic rhythms and charming melodies, making for an impossibly fun catharsis, a saccharine scab-picking, and often barbed with this appealing tone of defiance, a declaration of self-awareness that readily addresses (and, hell, even celebrates) one’s flaws, yet also tacitly implies that the opinions of others would never be something that could ever bring them down.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe narrator of these songs might not even be halfway close to fixing herself, but there’s just the right amount of DGAF energy coating her delivery and lyrical subtext that, combined with the sometimes-triumphant-feeling crescendos provided by the drums\/guitars, strikes this complex tone of self-celebration, even in the face of sadness or loneliness or self-loathing. It’s fine to have a pity party, but this album limits them to two-minutes, and even then, it’s a pity party that always… ALWAYS feel uplifting by the end of the song. It’s that kinda shit that makes me proud, in this way, proud to call an album like this one a favorite… a perfect… a perfect album.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHow did they do it? How did Leah do it, with these words and these spare arrangements…? How did Aaron know just what the song needed, from the softer touch to the more explosive fills? How did Ben know to keep things so measured, so tasteful, with barely a flourish from the guitar…\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAgain, you’re going to chock this all up to me going on a rant, but I’ll say it again–maybe this can’t be topped? Because \u003cem\u003eBlonde Album\u003c\/em\u003e is a result of everyone involved, even if it was primarily just three people, and even predominantly one, making the exact choices they did in that moment, in that exact moment of being an indie-band with an albeit modest amount of “buzz” that was declared to be “on the cusp” of…whatever…, that exact moment of being being smack-dab in the middle of your 20s when your innocence has evaporated but your daring hasn’t been drained, and you are ready to stop questioning yourself and speak your heart instead of speak your mind…To reside right there, in that moment, in front of a piano? And to come out of it with \u003cem\u003eBlonde Album\u003c\/em\u003e? Perfect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd maybe that moment in time can’t, (won’t, or shouldn’t…) be replicated? Maybe we don’t need anything else from Lightning Love after that? Oh, but therein lies the sting…The sting of untold possibilities… The wonder, the hope, the wish that something like this could come back again?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUntil it does, I’m going to replay this album for the 87th time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ciframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/1wmP5ukF7BI\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\n\n\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/embed.tidal.com\/albums\/46886036\" width=\"500\" height=\"275\" allow=\"encrypted-media; fullscreen; clipboard-write https:\/\/embed.tidal.com; web-share\" sandbox=\"allow-same-origin allow-scripts allow-forms allow-popups allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\" style=\"color-scheme: light dark\" title=\"TIDAL Embed Player\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e","brand":"Lost in Ohio","offers":[{"title":"Splatter Vinyl","offer_id":46229907177720,"sku":"LOH-12-VINYL","price":19.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Digital Download","offer_id":46229907144952,"sku":"LOH-12-DIGITAL","price":9.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Test Pressing","offer_id":46229907210488,"sku":"LOH-12-TEST","price":49.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0744\/4476\/7480\/files\/loh12.jpg?v=1744905956"},{"product_id":"morellas-forest-ultraphonic-hiss","title":"Morella's Forest – Ultraphonic Hiss","description":"\u003cp\u003eMorella's Forest was a different band in 1996.

And then there’s the grounding that comes from another 25 years of life lived; Chris’s lyrics shift lenses from self-absorption and unrequited love and focus in on living a happily mundane life in this stilted world we inhabit together — all without sacrificing the widescreen emotion the band is known for.\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/aIzbkMULD7g\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e \u003ciframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/BHTt3_MzX1I\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e \u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/embed.tidal.com\/albums\/334657829\" width=\"500\" height=\"275\" style=\"color-scheme: light dark;\" title=\"TIDAL Embed Player\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lost in Ohio","offers":[{"title":"Pink Vinyl","offer_id":46229915009272,"sku":"LOH-16-VINYL","price":22.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Digital Download","offer_id":46229914976504,"sku":"LOH-16-DIGITAL","price":9.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Test Pressing","offer_id":46229915042040,"sku":"LOH-16-TEST","price":49.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0744\/4476\/7480\/files\/loh16.jpg?v=1744905717"},{"product_id":"love-spirals-downwards-flux","title":"Love Spirals Downwards – Flux","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"Songs stand out as clearly futuristic, perhaps paving the way for a new interaction of genres that hadn't previously been conceived.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e– Pitchfork\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e100 Essential Dream Pop Releases\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Post-punk.com\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"A pop-electronic fusion with a gentle jungle undertow.

It even started tracking as one. But the exercise of recording in fits and starts ultimately found the endeavor sputtering to a stop. Superdrag ran out of patience, time and energy. But \u003cstrong\u003eJohn Davis\u003c\/strong\u003e, heart-on-the-sleeve songwriter that he is, knew that these songs needed to be saved.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“\u003cstrong\u003eStewart Pack\u003c\/strong\u003e has been a hero of mine for about 30 years,” John says. “He was the guitarist and the singer in my favorite Knoxville band ever, Pegclimber.” John had collaborated with Stewart on past projects like skate punk revival band Epic Ditch, but what John was really looking for was to be put in touch with Stewart’s son, \u003cstrong\u003eHenry\u003c\/strong\u003e, who was fast becoming one of the most sought-after engineers in town. Not to mention a “monster drummer.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat John got from that call was a twofer—Henry agreed to engineer, and Stewart signed up to produce. The father-son combo also quickly slotted in as John’s rhythm section. Suddenly – and, yes, heroically – there was a brand-new John Davis band.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey took their cues from three-piece legends like the Minutemen, Meat Puppets, Hüsker Dü and Dinosaur Jr (all, not incidentally, SST Records stalwarts) and used the spartan, no frills rock sensibility of the Ramones as inspiration. But they weren’t looking to go punk on John’s songs as much as go lean. “We weren't gonna be bound by any of the earlier arrangements or earlier decisions about the songs and what we wanted to do was eliminate all the fat.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe first thing you notice on the record, in fact the very first thing you hear, is John’s thick, raw guitar tone. (And its short, warm sustain at the end of “I’m Sorry” is the very last sound.) Not unfamiliar or unaffiliated with the big production energy of Nashville where a band might employ more than 20 guitars to make a record, John and Stewart pinned almost all their sonic hopes on one Fender Stratocaster. “As ubiquitous as the Strat is, I feel like they’re really undervalued on records.” The decision was less about championing the Strat and all about creating a sonic universe the listener could take instant residence in. Once you key into the sound, it feels like home.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt also felt as honest as the lyrics. “I've been writing songs for a long time and my process has never really changed. I just try to open my heart up and whatever's in there, that's what you get.” And what you get on \u003cstrong\u003eJINX\u003c\/strong\u003e is indeed that—a man carrying out assorted boxes from the dark and light sides of his heart. John takes listeners through the internal monologues of a person battling with depression and then buoys us back up with sweet and straightforward declarations of love.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe album opens with the lyrics “sometimes I’m a bag of broken glass \/ what am I supposed to do with that?” from “The Future” and then, on a dime, the newly engaged Davis invites us to his upcoming betrothal on “Please Be My Love” (“she’s so kind and sweet to me \/ that’s all she has to be”). The album intentionally conflates negative and positive connotations, which manifests in its titular identity. As a word, “Jinx” usually immediately conjures thoughts of bad luck, and that’s the idea to be certain. But the title is really just an inside joke between John and his fiancée about their almost daily tendency to utter the same phrase at the same time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYep, misfortune and soul connection, depression and new love.

The songs channeled the Stones' swagger, Bowie's glam edge, and Jane's Addiction's intensity—furious guitars, snarling vocals, and supposedly true stories about alien abductions, tattooed lovers, and the walking wounded of late-night bar culture. Knott rewrote classics like \"Rocket \u0026amp; A Bomb\" and \"Kitty Courtesy,\" elevating them to new sonic heights and cranking up the volume.

With their new album \u003cem\u003eCherisher\u003c\/em\u003e, The Julies lean fully into reflection, memory, and meaning, delivering a deeply personal collection about holding on, on purpose.

The album draws from shimmering post-punk urgency and ’90s shoegaze-influenced walls of sound, allowing Alex and Pat, both playing multi-instrumentalist these days, a chance to repurpose the past as well. “We focused on crafting an ‘album’ and for me that started with finding the right sounds and tones,” says Alex. “I was hoping to make something with more grit and edge while retaining our signature dreaminess.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eBecause it was such an insular project, the band felt it was paramount to widen the aperture to outside influence.
